Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

At Sky's anniversary celebration which had turned into a grim and gruesome event for everybody, especially Yunru and Sun Bai, Sun Bai found herself in the most precarious situation ever. The mobile in her hand kept trembling, seeing the presence of the files she had already deleted before.

"I…I am telling the truth…" her voice shook as tears formed in her eyes. "I-I have no idea about this. M-Miss. Zhou, Sir, I really don't know how…"

For the rest of the crowd, Sun Bai was now nothing but a liar trying to gain sympathy by using her tears.

"Don't vouch for innocence when you have been caught red-handed," one of the reporters prickly pointed out.

She stiffened.

"Yeah, that's right. You should feel ashamed."

"What kind of people work in Sky-"

Suddenly, the reporter gulped his words back in his throat as he felt a sharp and icy look from Jun who looked ready to strangle him.

"I decide what kind of people work in Sky," he quietly imposed. "If you are judging Sun Bai, it means you are judging me."

And judging Liu Jun and the Sky CEO was a mistake nobody here wanted to make.

Flaring his nostrils, Yunru bashed them. "That's right! Don't you dare blame Sun Bai! She is really awesome! I believe her if she is saying that she doesn't have any knowledge about this!"

Zixin nodded after his brother's declaration, leaving everybody stunned.

Nobody understood how Sky bosses could trust their employee who had been literally caught red-handed with guilt. They looked disdainfully at Yunru because they felt he was supporting Sun Bai who faced similar allegations as her.

But for even the CEO to take her side was a whole different matter altogether.

Once again, Jun asked Chyou to check Sun Bai's phone like she did for the newbie author Cui Fen but with more detailed analysis.

Chyou said, "I will be back."

Yating thought for a second and said, "I will come with you too."

Jun stood before Sun Bai and said with his reassuring and firm tone, "The truth will be out, Miss. Sun. Rest assured."

Ai beamed and nodded.

Sun Bai still couldn't believe that of all people, Jun would trust her so much.

Xing Bi, who still felt uncomfortable about this, voiced out her opinion, "Ju-, Sir, I, too, want to believe in Miss. Sun. But she is making it difficult herself! I asked her so many times why a person like her would yield to Lu Bohai, but she refused to tell me."

She gave a troubled look at Nian which expressed if what she was doing was right or wrong.

Nian's lips curved into a smile, neither goofy or mischievous, but a smile which consoled her anxious heart. "You aren't wrong with your doubts. After all, you care about Ai so much. I am sure my little brother would have his reason."

Ai softly said, "Yes, Xing Bi. You are not wrong either. I know you have questions for my sake."

The guilt from Xing Bi's heart eased tremendously.

The reporters then asked, "Miss. Sun, what is your relationship with Mr. Lu Bohai?"

"Why did he approach you to bribe you?"

With all the cross questioning, Sun Bai found it difficult to breathe because this was a track of questions she didn't wish to answer.

The reporters were even more convinced that Sun Bai had more shady things to hide. They could smell the juicy headlines and were ready to pounce on her like wolves when Jun crashed their hopes.

Jun narrowed his eyes. "When did you all become the CEO of Sky to question my employee like that?"

They froze.

"Whatever questions there are, only I have the right to ask Sun Bai. There is no need for your useless interference so back off. Whether it's Yunru, Cui Fen or Sun Bai, only I have the authority to handle these matters."

Zixin coldly glanced at the reporters and calmly said, "It won't be for long when Yunru and Shi Huan will be proved innocent. At that time, I want all of you to be ready with your personal apology. Yunru is my little brother and Shi Huan could be my possible sister-in-law in the future. I won't take this matter lightly," he threatened but with poise and tranquility.

'Guiying' choked.

The reporters - "..."

"Bro…" Yunru burst into tears and hopped in to give Zixin a big hug.

Zixin nodded and patted his head. "You don't have to be afraid at all."

Huan felt extremely grateful to him as well. She thought about all the chaos that would be happening at Shi Publishing because of her and steeling her heart, she said, "I will be heading back to the company. I will explain my side to everyone myself that I am innocent."

With Yunru, Zixin and everybody's support, Huan found her own confidence and resolve.

Yunru quickly said, "I will come with you too!"

"No," Huan denied. She looked at the reporters and staunchly said, "It will only make people misunderstand us more. I don't want anybody to think that you came because I seduced you."

Some of the reporters coughed.

"That's why, I will go alone," she clenched her fist with determination. "This is my story which I have worked hard for. I will fight for it myself."

—

Shi Publishing.

Shi Zhelan watched Zhan Yahui walking into the conference room with an air of confidence and elegance around her. "What are you doing here…?"

Zhan Yahui stopped and faced her with a smile on her lips. "Mrs. Shi. Why wouldn't I be here? I am one of the shareholders of this company as well. I have every right to be concerned about its future."

Shi Zhelan stared at her blankly. "Shareholder…?"

How can she have any shares of Shi Publishing!? She has got nothing to do with my company!

Suddenly, a chill ran in the back of her spine as a thought came across her mind. She ever so slowly turned her head and moved her gaze towards her husband.

Shi Shuren, who felt her gaze, stiffened. The sweat on his forehead became further pronounced as he knew what Shi Zhelan would have understood.

With the way he guiltily averted his eyes, Shi Zhelan already got her answer.

Ah…so it was him…

Shi Shuren had secretly transferred a portion of his shares on Zhan Yahui's name because of which she was standing as a shareholder at this moment.

Shi Zhelan looked back at Zhan Yahui where the latter sneakily winked at her and mouthed something silently.

'Happy realization, Mrs. Shi~'
